I worked on machine piecing some Periwinkle Star blocks for Part D of Gossip in the Garden.
They have a cute name and look cute but I have to admit that for me they are a chore to make.
So I put them aside after adding a few to the pile and moved onto preparing the stitching for Part D but I failed to centre the design properly so had to try and erase the writing and soon abandoned that unpleasant task.
Luckily my Sew Laugh Love stitchery is always ready to pick up when I don't have anything else prepared.
Thanks for all of your help with my CCCQ colour dilemma, I have decided to add some green, probably blue-greens. This might be a good bridging fabric, red with some green and blue elements for my next block.
I hope you had a productive night.
Those Periwinkle Star blocks are so cute but maybe not something to work on when you are with a group of friends.
ReplyDeleteI think this fabric addition will look great in your CCCQ quilt.
You did well making those stars. The construction of that type star is not always easy.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good plan Carole and that is a great fabric to start with! I do love all your blues but some greens will only add to it I'm sure:) I'm a bit behind in blog checking so I missed your last post - wow - some lovely quilt pics!
ReplyDeleteLove your stars !!
ReplyDeleteIt's always great to have a back up plan...when everything else goes a bit topsy turvy.
ReplyDeleteThey are sweet little blocks but do look fiddly. I always have a stitchery on the go......just in case.
ReplyDeletewhere would we be without those "reliable" stitchery projects to fall back on every now and then.
ReplyDeleteOh boy,... .having to rub out tracing is just the pits. It happens to me all the time. Really glad you had another gorgeous stitchery on hand to cheer you up. Love those stars.... they may be fiddly but they are beautiful.....xxx
ReplyDeleteI am making those little blocks too for my Gossip in the Garden quilt. What a pain! Your blocks look great!
